AS there are SO many naughty
propensities in which, the peevish
fretful child may glide, before its
parents or guardians may be aware
of. [ would say the little folks
ought always to be employed
during their leisure moments.
There are SO many things for the
little ones to do that will keep them
out of mischief as well as amuse
them; let them string buttons,
wind thread that you have no use
for; its really amusing to see them
get all entangled show them a
sugar plum or something equally
as nice, and for nearly an hour or
perhaps longer they will struggle
like soldiers, "to make it sraight
again." Another plan of Danish
ing fretfulness is to smear baby's
hand with a little syrup and give it
couple of feathers, | am of the
opinion that mother will cough as
well as baby. Children are big
folks iu miniature and just as we
get out of sorts at times, seem
ingly for nothing, SO do they.
Therefore don't scold or find fault
with them, but rather give them
something to do that will detract
their thou ghts, let them romp and
play to their hearts content, en-
courage their childish notions in a
word let them be children as long
as nature intends; too often stern
restraint upon their bouyant
spirits causes them to diffuSe the
sweetness of their natural TEN
peraments, every where else but at
home. All, the Home Circle, is
sadly incomplete without them.
Soft subdued lights in the home,
are so extremely pleasable, to al
most every body that the little
time it requires to fashion pretty
lamp shades renders it an easy
matter to have as many delicately
shade tints as the taste may sug-
gcs'. \ very pretty one can be

The Monticello club that was
organized by Mr.. Paris Lyvers at
No. 1919 E Street, one year ago
has been steadily on the increase.
Mr.. Lyvers finding that first
class club house is needed In this
city and one, that will accommo
date the citizens and those who
may visit the city has decided to
make additional Improvements
and establish business that will
be credit to himself and keep a
house where respectable citizens
and visitors to the city may have
an evening of ENJOYMENT. The
firm will be now known as Paris
Lyvers and H. E. Burgess, pro-
prletors. There is to be quite a
number of improvements made
within the next two weeks be-
fore the grand opening which is
to take place Monday evening,
May 2nd. The outside of the
club house has already been hand
someIy painted. The bar will be
removed in the back room and
the whole of the front room where
the billiard and pool tables arc
will be used as a billiard and pool
room with additional tables. The
room will be repainted and pa
pered with the latest and most
handsome paper. The stairs in
the room, where the bar Is to be
removed, will e taken down and
placed elsewhere, which will make
the room larger. The second
floor front will be carpeted with
velvet BRUSSELS, painted and re.
papered and will be used as a club
room for visitors. The middle
room, same floor will be used as
a reception room, and the back
room, same floor, will be used for
a club room. Similar improves
ments will be made on the third
floor. The walls will be pictur-
ed and handsomely decorated.
The chandeliers will be of the
latest style. The house will be
conducted on order of the Hand
cock house; when completed it
will be the finest club house this
side of New York. The proprie-
tors plopos to be able to NIX all
kinds of drinks and serve at all
times the fines lunch s, dinners
&c. Their lunch counter will be
Oh the most improved order and
will contain such eatables thar
will make the mouth of the most
slckIy water. As these twp G n
tlemen are we'll known in this
city for their busin' s. quallfica
tons, there is no doubt but that
they will keep a club house worthy
